Program description

Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering

Our IChemE accredited course is distinguished by its focus on process engineering, developing whole system professional standard process design from year one with the level of design increasing in complexity throughout the course. This approach aims to makes our graduates industry-ready and equip them with a competitive edge when it comes to securing jobs and placements. Our MEng programme also enables students to study specialist topics and undertake industrially relevant research alongside leading academic researchers. Throughout the programme emphasis is placed on the value of group project work as a means of preparing you to work as an engineer. The course offers the opportunity to undertake a one year industrial placement and/or study abroad.

This degree has been accredited by the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and IOM3 (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

Admission requirements

Applicants to degree programmes will usually be expected to have studied three subjects at A level.

The University recognises that disparities in resources might mean some schools certificate AS levels while other schools do not, as a consequence whilst we value AS levels we will not make any offers on the basis of AS grades.

All conditional offers will ordinarily be made on the basis of three full A levels (some subjects are not included, please see our prospectus) and students will only be required to have achieved a pass in the fourth subject, if taken. The grade achieved in the fourth subject may have significance when an applicant has narrowly failed to achieve the specified grades at A level.

Our admission process recognises that applicants have a wealth of different experiences and may have followed various educational pathways. While our publicity materials generally express entry requirements in terms of A levels, most of our schools and faculties accept a much broader range of qualifications.

Students who require extra support to meet the English language requirements for their academic course can attend a presessional course at the Centre for English Language Education (CELE) to prepare for their future studies. Students who pass at the required level can progress directly to their academic programme without needing to retake IELTS.

Course details

Modules

In year one and two, students develop knowledge of the engineering fundamentals, science and design. In year three, in addition to advanced modules, you will undertake an industry-focused group design project, which simulates a commercial environment and will allow you to develop and demonstrate valuable skills for your future career as a professional chemical engineer. In year four, you are able to specialise by choosing modules that suit your own interests and career path. You will also undertake a research and development project, giving you first-hand experience in cutting-edge research and advanced design practices.
